Chris Murphy posted earlier that it is not illegal, but that he plans to introduce legislation to make it so.

Having worked at the FBI in counterintelligence and foreign influence during the time in question, I just want to reiterate the notion that John Solomon hasn’t a single of value to say about any of this.

The Paradox of Trump’s Iran Attack When his fantasies unravel, Trump has a habit of abusing power to force his will upon an uncooperative world.

To go along with earlier Atlantic article from Tom Nichols, here is David Frum's take

For Trump, a military conflict with Iran would distract from:

-Epstein files
-His deadly deportation agenda
-Losing on tariffs at SCOTUS
-Tanking polls
-His devastating (and unpopular) budget bill
-Millions of people protesting his authoritarianism

When he's cornered, he lashes out. Be warned.

You reposted his post, @rbreich.bsky.social. But isn't that where the problem lies? Even if Congress stood up to Trump, his Admin would still continue to do as it pleases, with that 'authority' behind him as we spent years in court working our way back up to SCOTUS.

And he'll argue it was an official act'.
BLAME SCOTUS.
John Roberts knew exactly who they were enabling.
